The Lindenhurst Memorial Library was filled with creativity, community spirit, and civic pride during this year’s Junior Mayor Gallery Night, a special event held in April to honor participants in the annual “Loving Lindenhurst” contest.
The evening showcased a vibrant collection of art, essays, and multimedia projects created by local students, each expressing what they love most about their hometown. These inspiring submissions are the heart of the contest, which selects the community’s next Junior Mayors—young leaders who represent Lindenhurst’s future with passion and purpose.
A heartfelt thank you goes to the Lindenhurst Memorial Library staff, whose support and hospitality made this memorable night possible. We are deeply grateful to Library Director Lisa Kropp and Deputy Director Caitlin Sempowich for graciously hosting the event and for their ongoing commitment to uplifting our youth through, not only the Junior Mayor program, but through the library’s extensive programming, as well.
The Junior Mayor program continues to be a cornerstone initiative celebrating civic engagement and youth leadership in Lindenhurst. We look forward to seeing these bright young leaders continue to make a difference in our community.
